Bang Bang



(Currently chilling in Victoria, British Columbia, where I will be for the next 5 days. I know what you're thinking, and yes it is an incredibly random place to find yourself. Which is precisely what attracted me here in the first place.)

Anyway, this is from the 2010 film "Heartbeats", written, directed and starred in by one Xavier Dolan. He's the dark-haired dude. Things to know about Xavier Dolan: a) He is from Quebec, Canada. b) He is gay. c) He is obscenely accomplished for someone only a year older than we are (obviously the Canadian school system is doing something right). "Heartbeats", or "Les Amours Imaginaires", is about two friends, one male and one female, who fall in love with the same boy. I really liked it, but then I'm a sucker for slo-mo sequences scored to songs in Italian.

  1. Nice clip! And I like this Italian version of Bang Bang (now I've got the tune in my head). Such a sad premise- a guy and a girl liking the same boy. Now I wonder who the non-dark-haired one ended up with. And wow that guy is only a year older than us??? No way
